Not only on work but also in other times as well on which we know that we do have different priorities in life on which not really just that related to work but also in other things as well.
Finding up yourself doing gambling while you do work is really putting up yourself at risks on losing your work because of being inefficient into the job that you are doing. There's a time on everything and doing something like gambling on work hours wont really be recommended. You get caught then you get fired or on the time that you cant do your job well then it would really be resulting into those  things.If you dont really like for something this to happen then it would really be wise that you should really be playing gambling on your vacant time. It can wait and there's appropriate time for everything.

Dont make yourself that getting out balanced just because you've been wanting to play gambling gambling despite of those work hours on which we know that this one is really inappropriate.
Once you do lost your work then applying for another one is too damn hard and it could end you up being jobless for too long on which this is something that we dont like,right?

Gambling at work is literally a bad idea and shouldn't be practiced.  The fact that a gambler can gamble at work without being able to control himself, it shows that person might be addicted. And irresponsible gamble always follows addiction if not taken care of. Once  you start getting addicted you could gamble at work and if you eventually loss everything,  you might have a moody day which could in turn affect your performance in your work place. You might necessarily get sacked but eyes are always  watching and when that keep happening, the company would have no other option than to let you go if you don't recover from your attitude. And that could cause you your job which is the major source of your income. Addiction don't always go well and that's why we must learn to gamble responsibly.

Right!
I doubt the fact that some people are chronic gamblers and may likely be affected on their habits because even though they seems to be very tight they would still create out time and chance to gamble at their break period. Most times it's not advisable to gamble at work because it could lead to serious damage either using working hours for gambling and it's very bad and disappointing seeing people not diligent to their dutie.

I also agree with you on this thing, as there are people who like gambling and get involved in gambling activities, but due to the kind of work they get themselves involved in, they have stopped the amount of time they spend in gambling because they no longer have time for themselves but rather to spend some time in gambling. 
 
Although there are people who, regardless of the kind of work that they are doing, always make time for gambling, even if it's just the little break that they are being given in the office, they can spend it all on gambling since online casinos have made it possible.

Yes, that's true, because both the desire to get rich quick and the act of being  too comfortable with gambling are two factors that have been proven to contribute to gambling addiction, but let's not forget that personal decision is the ultimate factor to be consider in both scenarios mentioned above, because inasmuch as a person wants to get rich quick, if they don't decide to channel their efforts to gambling but other area, they can never get addicted. And likewise is this also applicable to being comfortable around gambling environment, because if they don't decide to be addicted, they can never be. Hence, our personal decision is one thing to be said as a factor which causes gambling addiction.

On the moment that you would really be that losing money then you would really be trying out to recover those loses and on the time that you would really be having that winning then you would really be trying out to win more and this what makes yourself having that kind of approach on trying out to be a winner and this what makes you desperate on the moment that you would really be playing which is really that not recommended since this would really be that resulting into having that kind of addiction on which this will really be causing up that huge devastation in speaking about financial aspect. People would really be that definitely having issues on the time that they had put up themselves on such trouble because addiction is something which is really that very hard to be that controlled on the moment that you do make yourself get addicted.

Its indeed a self choice because on the time or moment that you do find yourself having those kind of desperate actions about on how you would really be making more wins then this is the time
that you would really be pursuing out on how you would really be that trying out to have that kind of approach.. Some could really be able to get out on such addiction but
majority would really be ending up on becoming addicted and this is why they would really be keeping on coming back on playing until they would really be busting up themselves.

I call it 'out of control' in quotes because addiction is not a choice that any gambler wants. 90% of people are fully aware that addiction that ends in addiction is not a choice at all. In fact, in the midst of the situation being carried away to addiction, their thoughts have already arisen that I am heading towards addiction so that there is a clash of thoughts between wanting to stop and the challenge to continue in order to withdraw some of the money they have spent.

Back to the above that the situation is self-control. If the ability to control oneself over gambling habits is stable, then it is appropriate to call ourselves not addicts.

Agreed, my friend repeatedly lost from online gambling and tried to get his money back. But he never wants to see the total loss of his money. But there are very few people who still bet on gambling after losing from gambling. In fact everyone is addicted to making money so i want everyone to win. Gambling is a game of luck, so the one who wins the most will always have the wheel of luck spinning in a good direction. I welcome the person who bets on gambling and loses and never bets again.

It's like a whirlpool that sucks the player deeper and deeper with each stack. And it seems that you can stop, but this is only an illusion, because after losing a lot it is hard for us to leave and do our own thing, because in our head there will be only one loss and we will not be able to do anything else, it will constantly interfere with us. I have seen how this happens, it is really very difficult. It could happen to me before, but now I know everything about this subtle feeling.

The idea of getting rich quick with the help of gambling is one thing that drives gamblers insane to the extent of forgetting how much they have spent and when to call it a stop.
 
Another thing that contributes to someone getting addicted easily can also be traced back to getting too comfortable with gambling to the extent that when ever the person has any free time, the first place they feel comfortable is gambling. Getting too obsessed with a particular game makes them lose total control of their time. 

Thinking that if luck permits then they can quickly withdraw decent amount of money, but the sad truth, they win once then the next thing will a repeated failures, they'll be force to add more money as they wanted to quickly recover what they've already lost, and most of the time that kind of mindset is the one that push a gambler to become addicted.

It's a choose that you continue playing, though it's a uncontrollable emotion that really place you in the situation where you can no longer resist.

I kinda feel all these things are practically inbuilt because even if you exposed the gambler to such exercise before getting into gambling too, I feel if the person still wants to get addicted with his habit it would be something that's personally based on the steps he takes even after being exposed to gambling because human have a very wrong actions towards their discipline nature and to be conscious with your gambling habits takes real discipline.

when gambling finally becomes a common game that people play easily. It should also be balanced with education to prevent gamblers from becoming addicted. indeed the gambler's activity itself makes them addicted and become very bad gamblers. but when gamblers are given an education from the start regarding the risks and also their perspective on gambling, maybe gamblers can set limits to prevent them from becoming addicted.
currently, online gambling can be done by anyone with very easy access. even with a small change.

Right, meaning misunderstanding about what and how gambling actually is the main trigger for ongoing problems in the end, such as the mindset that gambling is a get rich quick scheme or a means to gain wealth as you said, although it is clear that it is a wrong mindset but it does happen.

I think all this started because from the beginning they were too tempted by winning, or I mean they responded to winning with an overly exaggerated reaction so that there was an increase in expectations and false beliefs about gambling where this mindset led them to various impulsive actions without thinking or considering the risks, in the end of course only significant regret and emotion occurred. On the other hand everything you said is clear that it is a fact of gambling where simply winning depends on how lucky you are at that time, there is no element of consistency, so how can you achieve wealth in a place that only depends on luck.

No one chooses to be a gambling addict, everyone definitely wants to avoid it, it's just that sometimes someone doesn't realize that they are addicted to gambling, in their daily lives they can handle gambling well by limiting their time and spending so that it is not excessive but they can't get away from gambling I mean they always gamble at certain times it can also be said to be addicted but can still control themselves, there are also those who are addicted but can't control themselves and end up experiencing big losses.

It all depends on each person in using gambling games I am also aware that currently gambling has become a common game in society even in my own environment they consider gambling as a bringer of luck at certain times they can get money instantly some of them experience losses.

If you are addicted to gambling, the problems that come will be more complete, starting from debt, not being able to control emotions, time, even with addiction, someone dares to commit a crime just to get money to gamble. Someone can be addicted to gambling, the main factor that often occurs is because they want to chase losses and fantasize a lot if they win, want to buy this and that, forget that gambling is just for fun and gamble with money that is ready if they lose.

So if we refer to this topic, it is true that gambling addiction comes from one's own choice. Although many say that gambling addiction is a factor of friends, environment and so on, the main factor is oneself who cannot control oneself which results in addiction. Addiction can be avoided if we have a good mindset about gambling. Because when you have become addicted, it will be difficult to cure.

I think one of the reason why most  people easily get addicted to gambling, is due to having the mindset of thinking that they can get rich quick through gambling, that they can easily make good amount of money by just hitting the jackpot without thinking about the negative effects attached to gambling , that one can easily lose a huge amount of money through gambling. Because gambling is not any form of charity it all boils down to luck so if you ain't lucky you will definitely endup being at the losing side , same thing goes for being lucky, you will be at the winning side , so gambling is not a means to get rich quick.

Life, including gambling, depends on moderation. To say addiction is a straightforward "bad choice" is naive. Addiction steals the reward circuits in your brain, thereby rendering logical cognition very impossible. It's about knowing the underlying reasons and tackling them, not only about will

Gambling is not inherntly evil. Done correctly, it can be a fantastic rush. The secret is to know oneself inside out: your limitations, when it loses fun, and when to leave. One must have this self-awareness absolutely. It's the difference between a benign pastime and a deadly spiral

To be clear: moral failing is not what addiction is. The problem is complicated with psychological and biological foundations. Though it's a dangerous slope, gambling may be a great diversion. You'll be okay if you know your limits, be sincere with yourself. Don't fool yourself; self-awareness and self-control rule everything

The rate at which addicts are given the opportunity to return to society does not seem to be a parameter worth looking at, the will that is the foundation to overcome is broken the moment they spend a large amount of money to overcome the sea of ​​suffering in gambling and life, it feels like addiction is their closest friend while their inhibitions are their worst enemy. Addiction allows one to gradually lose one's basic principles and awaken the depths of insanity, like a deep sand pit, when something sinks, the first moment you can pull it up with a tree branch, but if you hesitate and are a few steps slower, you can only let that person sink without being able to buy them more time.

When someone become addicted to gambling, he will difficult to change his future into better unless he realizes about his gambling addiction and want to cure it. Without having a strong power and will, he can't cure his gambling addiction and will gets deeper in his gambling addiction. Getting addicted in gambling is a choice so we must choose it by ourselves and if we realizes about the risks of getting addicted to gambling, we must avoids that by always using limitation and other things.

We control ourselves and know how to treat gambling as an entertainment so we don't break our boundaries and can enjoy playing gambling. We must know that gambling addiction is real and can comes to us anytime so that is why we must take care of ourselves better to avoids gambling addiction.
